Real Estate BROKERAGE Websites with Virtual Tours

Multiple dot-coms. Multiple dot-coms mean that your website can appear to be many websites — one for your brokerage, and one for each of your agents. The drawing below shows how it works. Clients arrive at your website using any of "your" dot-coms. Each dot-com "appears" to be a unique website with unique contact information, agent photo(s), and etc. However, the dot-coms draw from the same common pool of listings and virtual tours.

Other features include:

• Custom graphics for your website
• Searchable listings
• Complete listing management tools including photo uploads (any number of photos per listing)
• Automated server-side photo sizing and compression for ease-of-use.
• RCPix virtual tours and management tools (up to 9 photographic pans per listing)
• Management tools for agent profiles and dot-coms
• Each agent can have multiple dot-coms, letting them merge multiple pre-existing dot-coms in one location
• Agents can manage their own listings and virtual tours
• The office manager can manage all listings and virtual tours
• Community information links page
• Mortgage tools
• Liberal instructions within the management pages
• "Link" with other offices (if desired)
• AND: specialized management simplification tools for CENTURY 21 offices (minimizes redundant listing management)

Other Costs:

• Website setup: cost is commensurate with your expectations and need for customization.
• Dot-com registration (if required): $34 for two years (each dot-com)
• One-time dot-com instantiation fee: $15 (each dot-com)

Note: if agents don't want their own dot-com, they can participate free of any individual charges via the "select an agent" link on your website.

Technical Support:

• Free email and telephone support (within reason)
• Programming flexibility: custom programming when needed (generally not free)
• Photo editing and learning (with software suggestions)
• Virtual tour photo instructions

Many people have difficulty editing their photos for upload to their website. Although many digital cameras are packaged with adequate photo-editing software, many are not. Our recommendation is Ulead's PhotoImpact software (see our photo editing and learning page).
